It's so nice to see you again
When Natasha came back, it felt like she was only asleep for a few hours. She was on the Wakandan grass and looks around, rubbing her eyes and rubbing off the dirt. She looks around and sees King T'Challa, Bucky, Sam, And the Tree reform and it took her a second to realize they've been snapped.
"Natasha!" Shuri's voice yells, "Get ready! Doctor Strange says it's been five years and we have to fight!"
Five WHAT.
She can hear Bucky within the distance whining, "But I don't want too!"
But it looks like he had no choice when Shuri threw him a gun and a sad smile before a portal shines through. From the other side, she can see other portals but mainly a land so dusty and destroyed that Natasha could barely make out other people.
She feels her wrist and notices that she doesn't have her son's bracelet. Her breath hitches before he sees the Dora Miljae and T'Challa go through the portal. Natasha follows, rubbing her wrist and looks around as she stepped in the portal and sees the other world.
She sees Thanos, the Chituari, some outriders she fought before she was snapped. This Thanos had a weapon (a double-sided sword) compared to the last time she saw the titan he didn't have any (besides the infinity gauntlet) but from the looks of it, Either Thanos had numerous changes of heart or The remaining Avengers bought them back.
She had to go with the Avengers.
She can hear someone with a cape asking if that was everyone and someone said something but she wasn't close enough to hear them. And after that, She can see Ant-Man go huge and drop three more people plus a Raccoon (Rocket?) on the ground above them. She looks and even sees Pegasus and the Asgardian warriors Thor once talked about during the Ultron fiasco.
It was until then that she was hit with something and for a minute, she was struggling to get it off before realizing it was a suit, "Hello, Ms. Romanoff, welcome to your suit made by Spider-Man. Is there anything you wish to do?"
Natasha's heart softened, "You have the batons?"
"Yes, I do," A pair of batons appear in her hands from her suit, "It can also form staffs and if needed, guns and knives are at your pants along with the effect of making yourself invisible and aid to your injuries with little Spider-bots."
Natasha smiled. A pure, genuine smile. She went on her tippy-toes trying to spot her son but to no avail.
"AVENGERS!" She can hear Steve's voice.
And then, Thor's battle cry before everyone charged. Natasha tells her suit to go invisible and she runs, batons sparkling as she puts stabs an outrider with her baton.

Peter's eyes widened as he sees Tony almost being sliced in half and instantly releases his electric web to electrocute Cull Obsidian before Giant-Man steps on him and Peter excitedly runs to his mentor.
Tony removes his helmet and smiles proudly, "I like the suit, kid."
Peter stares at Tony, a wide grin forming, "I like it too."
"What's all that gray stuff in your hair?"
"It's gray hair."
"Oh."
"It's been five years, Mr. Stark. I'm like twenty-two."
Tony widens his eyes but it was replaced with an eye roll as he stumbles over to hug Peter. Peter who wasn't expecting this, was shocked and took it in that his mentor who wasn't big on affection, was hugging him. Peter hugs him back.

Kate runs, gauntlet in hand, unsure of what to do with it. She can't her fingers with it that's for sure. "Cap!" Kate yells into the intercom, "What do I do with the gauntlet?"
"Get those stones as far away as possible!" Cap replies.
"No! We need to get them back where they came from!" Peter yells.
"No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel." Kate solemnly answered.
Kate could see Scott shrinking, "Hold on!" He shouts excitedly, "That wasn't our only time machine!"
Kate can distantly hear a car horn and hears Captain America say, "Anyone sees an ugly, brown van up there?"
"YES!" Valkryie shouts, "BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE WHERE IT'S PARKED!"
"Scott, how long do you think you'll get it to work?" Peter asked.
"TEN MINUTE TOPS!"
"Get it started. We'll get the stones to you." Captain orders.
"On it, Cap." Kate hears an unfamiliar voice and didn't have much time to react to that before she gets cornered by Thanos's army.
"HAWKEYE!" And T'challa-- KING T'Challa comes into Kate's view, "Give it to me."
"How do you know my name?" Kate asks before giving it to him and sees T'Challa running away with it on his way to the van.
Kate is back to throwing arrows at anyone opposing the Avengers.

"Hey!" Peter shouts to Doctor Strange who turns to him. He didn't change at all except he's slightly disheveled. His eyes held the same look all those years ago when he saw the endless amounts of futures. Peter didn't know what the looks mean anymore, "You said one out of fourteen million, we win... Is this the one where we win?"
Doctor Strange tries to smile for his sake but it doesn't come up, "If I tell you what happens, it won't happen."
"I thought we were on the same team, Doc." Peter teases.
"We are."
"Soooo...?"
"Still not telling you."
"Worth a shot."

Somewhere along the lines when Thanos rained fire, Peter went through a ride. He flew on Mjlnoir, had a ride from Pepper, even went on a pegasus but was ultimately left defenseless when the canons knocked him off and made him land on the dirt. He had on instant kill, and his spider-legs were out but it went back in once the beams started to come. Everyone was shielding each other and Peter didn't know what to do. He had the gauntlet in hand but he couldn't put his fingers in it just to defend himself.
So for some reason, someone did it for him.
"It's so nice to see you again." Was all it said to make Peter's breath stop.
Uncloaking herself was his mother with a grin.
Peter lays down and sniffs. Five years. Five years and he couldn't speak. His mom simply hugs him and Peter tightly hugs her back, silencing his sobs by putting his face on her suit. She pulls away and wipes his tears.
"You've grown, Little Spider." She whispers.
Peter nods.
"Was everything nice while we were gone?"
That was a question he didn't expect to answer. He had to deal with his friends go bad, his wife die by his hand and nearly killing himself while tracking down her killer, could've left Benjamin alone, and so many other events that Peter didn't want to talk about. Was everything nice to him? No.
"Yeah. It was nice." He lies and felt so bad that one of the first things he would be saying to his mom was indeed a false truth.
But she believes him and kisses his crown. A smile which matched her eyes as she notices someone plow through Thanos's ship and helps Peter up, "Come on, we got a war to win."
"Wa-!" He was cut off by his mom hugging him again and tightly and when she pulled away, he could've sworn he saw tears and she runs off and she grabs a few women.
Carol Danvers lands in front of him and a bad moment at that. Not only was there snot all around his face, but he was also hugging the gauntlet... weirdly. "Hi, Peter Parker." She says with a smug smirk.
"Hi, Carol Danvers." He replies with a dry chuckle.
"You got something for me?"
Peter stands and gives her the gauntlet, "How are you going to get passed all that?"
Natasha and most of the women she recruited were suddenly in front of Peter and behind Carol, "Don't worry," Natasha says and Okoye finishes her sentence, "She's got help."
That's so cool.
Peter follows as they worked harmoniously, not knowing what to do besides web everything and watch as Shuri, Mantis, Carol, Okoye, Valkyrie, his mom, Wasp, even Pepper do their part. He just added to the effort once every five webs when he'd shout, "Blow over here!" And usually, Mantis would reply with her own blasts. WHICH WAS COOL!
It was cool until it's not, though.
Because Thanos saw the gauntlet and went after Carol specifically. But the women had her back as they blasted the mad titan and she swiftly flies past him with no troubles. Thanos throws his double-sided sword and it hits the quantum tunnel precisely which made Carol lose her grip on the gauntlet which falls to the ground.
Upon seeing it, Peter attempts to get it but was smacked by Thanos.
Captain America and Thor attempt to hold his arm down but to no avail as he overpowers both Steve and Thor and knocks them out both.
Peter's hope dimmed to zero.
But it went to fifty upon seeing Carol fly back into action right when Thanos was about to put it on. She punches him and punches him and it's effective until Thanos swats her away like a fly which Peter didn't think it was possible.
Thanos puts on the gauntlet and similar to Bruce, he can see the radiation pour into his veins and he yells as the pain of taking the infinity gauntlet wasn't an easy task. Peter finally gets on one knee, prepared to do whatever it takes to take Thanos down when Carol flies back again and stops him from snapping his fingers.
As Carol even forces him on his knees by punching him endlessly, she missed where Thanos grabbed the power stone.
Peter turns to Doctor Strange. His heart pounding for an answer. He can't just fail when he nearly did everything in his power to bring back half of the universe. It was like Strange knew what Peter was asking.
Peter asked in his mind, Is this the one where we truly win? Because Peter is starting to doubt that. Each and every defense system they had gone down by Thanos.
Doctor Strange shakily puts his finger up. Just one. His reply was yes. But, hurry.
Peter could hear Thanos yelling as he puts the power stone back in the gauntlet and feels the pain once again. And in a last-ditch effort, Peter hurries to Thanos, acting as if he were taking the gauntlet but what was Parker really doing?
Peter knew what he was doing when he simply peels out all of the infinity stones in one swipe and it goes onto his suit. Slowly.
Thanos punched him away and Peter watches as Thanos puts his gloved hand up high as a sign of victory. When in actuality, he looks like a fool.
"I am... inevitable." He snaps his fingers.
Everyone around Peter looks around in fear as he had done what he did in 2018. But to everyone's shock, nothing happened.
It took a second for Thanos to realize the trouble and turns his gloved hand around to see all the pockets: empty. Empty of the infinity stones and he turns.
He turns to see Peter and his suit merging with the stones as it gave him what they gave to Thanos and Bruce.
Pure power at their disposal at the snap of their fingers. He holds his hand up smugly and with a smug smirk as he saw the look on Thanos's face. The utter look of loss.
The loss that Peter had on years ago... Was the one that Thanos has on now.
Peter can feel the power, sure. But it didn't hurt him as much. It just made him uncomfortable.
"Hi inevitable," Peter greets with a smile, "I'm dad."
He can hear Tony and Natasha yell out for him as he snapped his fingers and everything went white.
